THE YOUNG MAN THAT STRAY




It was all rosy and sweet on a summer day. The street is full of pomp and pageantry, the evening is cool, the music is loud, the holiday is long and the seaside view is simply intoxication.  It was everything a break could be and much...
And then it happen, just like the historical king who was lazy to be leading a battle of her kingdom but got so energise in taking off the clothes of his trusted army’s wife; so also was this young man lazy in pursuing his conviction but busy in putting them down.
It started with a question why, then a comparative analysis between living a life with conviction and living a life without conviction.
It was supposed to just be a test of enjoyment without restraint. A little dilly-dally on the table of lasciviousness won’t be too bad after all these years of integrity but it became a life style. The taste was yummy and the marginal propensity to continue in lasciviousness was absolute one and like a baby that is so keen in unwrapping Santa’s gift; this young man continue in his downward spiral of lasciviousness. Everything was sweet but not without the soar taste. The remembrance of the days of conviction and the single decision to stray with its attending guilt kept flushing back to this man heart but like a powerless captive, he is bound by the hands of lasciviousness. The desire to return can’t be achieved because like a foreigner he does not know the path in the city. Now he wishes he never stray but like a typical youth that thinks he is losing out on the temporary enjoyment of this world, he went out but not without a cost. Days turn into month and months into year and yet the unwavering gatekeeper of lasciviousness has shut the door against this young man and will not allow him to go back to his conviction and live again his life of integrity.

 
Will this young man die in this land of lasciviousness or find a way back home?
Will he ever regain his integrity and live a righteous life again?
Will this perpetual rather perplexing lifestyle be overcome?
Will a higher force ever come to help this man against the gatekeepers?
Will?    Will?    Will?
Many countless questions and regrets on this man heart and he faces the future without any hope of returning home.
Will he ever return home?
Yes, because the Saviour gently waits and when He calls on Jesus, all things are possible.
